Council tax payers look set to see an increase in their council tax bill after Lincolnshire County Council revealed plans to increase bills by 3.9 per cent.

The county council’s executive board agreed the proposals at a recent meeting.

The budget proposals also included making savings of £22 million as well as using £30 million of reserves to set a balanced two-year budget.

In a video released by the county council on its Twitter feed, council leader Martin Hill said: “We are proposing putting council tax up by 3.9 per cent which is the maximum allowed by government including the two per cent precept the government suggest we put on for social care.
